Description:

2011-09-04 Lower Austria, district Wien Umgebung, wet meadow in 'Feuchte Ebene' near Mitterndorf (185 msm Quadrant 7964/4).German name: (for soil) Niedermoor-Torf (peaty soil); (for the animal) Europischer MaulwurfPitch-black molehills like those are very typical for some places in 'Feuchte Ebene' or the broader region of 'Mitterndorfer Becken' (as defined in the album description) where low moors developed. I thought at first that this is chernozem, but I was told it isn't.
